BROADWAY

I am always willing to upgrade to VOBs

Broadway | 1987

Cast: Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton, Hal Prince, Charles Hart
Type: .Wav files
Quality: B (for it's age)
Notes: Rehearsal footage, around 40 minutes long. Professionally filmed and sometimes staticky and fuzzy, but rare glimpse of the original cast and director working on the production. I found it really fascinating to watch and I was extremely excited to see the Rehearsals

Broadway | April 30, 1988

Cast: Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton, Hal Prince, Charles Hart
Type: VOB+smalls
Quality: B
Notes: Starts partway through 'Overture'. Color bleeding, washout, generation loss, and several unimportant scenes ('Prologue', 'Magical Lasso', etc.) are cut out, but nevertheless a video of the original cast on Broadway

Broadway | October 8, 1988

Cast: Michael Crawford (The Phantom), Patti Cohenour (Christine), Steve Barton (Raoul), Nick Wyman, Cris Groenendaal, Judy Kaye, David Romano, Leila Martin
Type: VOB files+smalls
Quality: A-
Notes: Micheal's final performance. Great quality video considering its age. The taper obviously knows the show well. Facial features can't quite be distinguished but the sound quality is great. Crawford's final speech is moving. There are no chapter divisions.

Type: VOB files+smalls
Quality: A-
Notes: A great capture of the Broadway production. There is one short blackout over the end of Think of Me and another over the beginning of Masquerade; the rest of the show is fully captured with just a couple quick dropouts in each act. There is one head that can occasionally be seen, but never blocks the action. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

**mynewfavoriteday's master**
Type: MP4
Notes: Excellent 4K capture of the incredible Emilie Kouatchou as lead Christine! It's filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and closeups from the front right orchestra with minor obstructions on the far sides of the stage that affect a small amount of the action that takes place there. There's only one main dropout that occurs during the scene before The Point of No Return due to an usher in the aisle. Due to the dark nature of the show, the camera rarely wanders during one or two scenes of the show but this never lasts for more than a few seconds. The audio is excellent and is from an external source. Includes audio of curtain call and playbill scans.

**shesmydoctor's master**
Type: MP4
Notes: Completely unobstructed video that focuses on the action, choreo, and set. At times it gets very grainy or very dark, but the action is still followed well with the exception of some very dark scenes where it is less consistent.

Type: MP4

Quality: A
Notes: My first video master. Not the best because it was blindshot from up close, but some parts did come out surprisingly better than I expected. During some parts I aimed too high or too low with the camera when I tried to adjust my angle. A few times I accidentally flipped the phone over or had to cover it causing some blackouts, especially in Act 2. Minor washout during brighter scenes along with some occasional rustling. Includes extra clips of curtain call and the orchestra playout. Thank you to allisforgiven for editing and impertinent-behavior for remastering the audio.
